Rutgers does so many things that contribute to winning. The 5’8 combo guard played a key role for West Central United ‘s 14U AAU state championship team and has worked her way into an important varsity spot at New London-Spicer. At the Freshman Showcase she made it obvious why those milestones have already been earned in her young career. Paycen plays with a big motor, rebounds relentlessly from the guard position and consistently creates deflections and turnovers with her effort defensively. She also brings plenty to the offensive end of the equation. She handles the ball well enough to be a point guard or shooting guard depending on the requirements of the situation. She sees the floor and distributes effectively, and owns deep three-point range. Rutgers may ultimately be difficult to project to a specific college level, but her work ethic, versatility, toughness and team-first approach give her plenty of ingredients to succeed now and later.
